The Development-Security Nexus Policies In Afghanistan: Feasible Or Fashionable?

Sažetak
I investigate the changing conceptual relation between development and security from the 1950s to nowadays, and their coming together in a nexus. The latest interpretation of this nexus is exemplified by Security Sector Reform (SSR) policies. Through an analysis of SSR in Afghanistan, I contend that the implementation of these policies does not reflect their conceptual richness constituted by the concept of human security and human development, but it addresses only state’s military security concerns. Despite this partial implementation, SSR policies have become fashionable because they frame military-security concerns within development polices, and they avoid answering to the development question. The consensus among international policy makers is indeed to postpone the tacking of the development question to an unknown future.
